Today’s Readings

I can’t figure out what the sort order is (and the table is not sortable), but the Mozilla Event Reference is quite comprehensive and should be helpful for debugging in any browser! Wonder how similar that list in other browsers…

Live.js brings live edit updating to any page, by just adding a script… Powerful!

And speaking of productivity-enhancers, it seems like Emmet would be an incredible boost to productivity, if only I had the patience to sit and learn it…

And in case you too have no idea which keys all those shortcut symbols represent, this should help…

And since we’re on the subject of keyboard rants, if you too wish your Mac keyboard function keys acted like, you know, function keys, then this should help…

What the hell, while we’re talking about keyboards so damned much, I used to be a hard-core DOS coder, so I know the power of command line (ok, stop snickering, right now!), but have completely lost touch since those days. But for anyone that likes command line, these are apparently “powerful”.

An inner-text-shadow might be a passé effect, but it is nice to know it can be done, and nicely done, via pure CSS!

And in a recent CSS-Tricks Chronicle, Chris also recommends Divvy. Looks cool, for people like me that don’t work with all their app windows in “max-size” mode… Watch the demo video, most impressive!

And speaking of impressive, any person that has ever used a Windows-based PC, then switched to a Mac, likely has a few “issues” with their new operating system. And I’ll just bet that one of the biggest is “the green button”, a.k.a. “the zoom button that doesn’t”… So check-out Right Zoom! It doesn’t work on all apps (most notably one Apple product (iTunes) and a few Adobe products), but I’ll take what I can get, what a time-saver!

Hakim El Hattab is easily one of the brighter new stars on the web dev horizon. His site is just fun to navigate around, and then you start checking out all the fantastic experiments he’s created, like Fokus…

And finally, to everyone I know and love up and down the eastern coast of The States, glad you all made it through okay, and I hope your lives are back to (as close to) normal (as it gets) very, very soon!
